About us
STVY is a virtual community. We have no premises of our own, but we operate from our members’ workstations. As membership benefits, we organise webinars and local events, including a larger seminar every two years. Our association has a Facebook group and a LinkedIn group where we share news and information about the industry as well as job opportunities.
We work closely with the technical communication educators at the universities of Tampere, Jyväskylä, and Oulu, and educational institutions abroad. In addition, we work with other technical communication societies, technical communication companies, and companies that hire the professionals in the industry.
Our society is for everyone who practises technical communication: writers, translators, illustrators, coordinators, editors, managers, teachers, students, and other professionals.
